Even though I love it, I totally understand. I quit cold turkey after a panic attack and it took me a good amount of time to trust caffeine being in my system again. Several years later I still find myself weary enough to limit myself to one, maybe two cups of coffee a day. It’s all about listening to your body and working with it, not against it.

@Samek Right there with ya. Anxiety is a tricky beast that doesn’t know how to let go, no matter how much closure and distance there is from it. That’s why you have to focus on one breath at a time on your journey. One breath, one step, no matter how hard they can be to take…take them. Over time your perseverance will become a fiercer force than the anxiety within that unforgivingly tries to rewrite the narrative.
